Thank you to everyone who came out and made the “I <3 Nerds” event the nerdiest, dorkiest, glasses-fest we have EVER seen! We were so pleased that Sanrio fans of all ages dressed up in Nerdy attire to party with Sanrio, Loungefly, and other nerd-lovers. We were once again honored to be asked by Sanrio to throw their themed parties this year, and man oh man, this one took the cake! With over 1,000 nerdy fans in attendance, this was THE ONE PARTY TO RULE THEM ALL! (No, the nerd-references don’t stop there. They just keep getting worse as this post goes on!)

This Hello Kitty Nerd outfit made its debut at this party! We <3 Nerd Kitty!

8 Bit Weapon and ComputeHer definitely had some loyal fans at this event, as they mixed and played their chip tunes for fans live, with an interactive display of nostalgic 8-bit graphics moving behind them.

The Yuki Shundo Dance crew really brought down the house with their amazing dance set of video game-inspired moves. Everyone in the crowd really lost it when they head the Zelda music go on.. or maybe that was just us??

These nerds can DANCE!

And thanks to DJ Dave Tada who brought us some pretty sweet nerd music in between all of the amazing performances!

Or course, the costumes were super epic and we were so pleased that everyone went all out to try and win the prize for NERDIEST!

Is the excitement building?

There’s just a few more days until the totally awesome 80′s Prom, hosted by Sanrio and Bubble Punch!
If you’ve been snoozing and haven’t purchased tickets, please check out our previous post! Remember this event is a limited ticket event!

We’ve been getting really amazing feedback from some Sanrio fans about the crazy outfits they have planned for the prom. Hope you guys are prepared! If you’re still not sure what to wear, or maybe just want to stand out from the crowd, then this post is to help you out.

We recommend going for BIGGER IS BETTER! There will be costume prizes given out to the Prom King, Prom Queen (adults), Prom Prince, Prom Princess ( children), and for MOST AWESOMELY 80s!

So if you’re still unsure about what to do for the 80′s Prom, here’s some amazing outfits to consider:

DEVO!

- Yellow jump suit
- write “DEVO” on the pocket area
- upside down red flower pots!

Madonna, duh!

Whether you’re “Like a virgin” or a “Material Girl” we expect to see you there!

HE-MAN!

Grab some belts, a dutch boy wig, and furry underpants and you are set.

The Misfits!

While we do love Jem, we all know the Misfits were WAY more 80′s. Why are they the bad girls? Just because they like putting PURPLE AND PINK all over their faces? Pshhh!

Karma Chameleon! Boy George, signature boy of the 80′s

Robert Smith of The Cure

For our darker fans, like Yume Ninja, there are plenty of 80′s Goth icons to choose from.

The Breakfast Club

For those who want to go as a group encompassing all things 80′s.

And lastly, why not just go inspired by the theme?

Well hope you guys feel inspired now! Can’t wait to see you all on Saturday!
